Extract Resources announces a new zone of mineralisation at Rossing South 

Polo Resources (PRL), the AIM listed mining company with uranium and coal interests in Africa, Australia, Europe and Asia, is pleased to report that Extract Resources Limited ('Extract'), in which Polo holds 21.4 million shares (ASX:EXT A$9.29/share*), has announced confirmation of a new zone of uranium at Rossing South.

 

Highlights:

A new zone of uranium mineralisation has been discovered on the western limb of the Rossing South antiform.

Zones 1 and 2 - Infill drilling continues to return high grade intersections.

Significant mineralisation has been encountered in 2 adjacent RC holes drilled on the western side of the dome structure of Zone 2. It is interpreted to dip shallowly to the west. A diamond drill hole (RDD082) is being drilled to confirm this orientation.

The core recovered so far shows that the banding and boundaries are at low angles to the core axis consistent with a shallow westerly dip; further, the hole has already intersected alaskite containing uranium mineralisation.

The mineralisation discovered to date at Zones 1 and 2 lies predominantly on the eastern limb of the Rossing South antiform.

Chemical assay results not previously reported from recent drilling at Rossing South include:

The broad zones of strong uranium mineralisation from Rossing South continues to increase the known size of this massive mineralised system. The expanded drilling programme has 10 drilling rigs currently on location, 5 diamond rigs and 5 RC.

Neil Herbert, Managing Director of Polo Resources, said:

"Infill drilling on Zone 1 continues as Extract seeks to progress the resource base into the measured and indicated category. We believe a total resource base of 500 mlbs is achievable from targets already defined.

"Meanwhile, the Rossing South exploration programme has further extended the known mineralisation at the project and Extract has now confirmed the discovery of a new high grade zone. These results are very exciting and should add significant further value to the project which is already expected to become one of the world's largest uranium mines."
